Cienciano - Caracas 

Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Cusco, Peru

On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Peruvian Cienciano will face Venezuelan Caracas in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. This will be the fourth meeting between these teams in South American cup competitions, with the head-to-head record completely even - each team has one win and one draw. Interestingly, the home team has never lost in these mutual encounters.

Cienciano is going through a remarkable streak in CONMEBOL competitions. The Peruvian side has drawn their last four games, the same number they had recorded in their previous 21 matches combined in these tournaments (7 wins, 10 losses). The "Paprika Men," as the team is nicknamed due to their red jerseys, are confirming their current role as specialists in draw results.

Caracas excels at gaining points from losing positions. The Venezuelan team leads the 2025 CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage with five points earned after falling behind. "Los Rojos" managed a comeback win against Iquique (2-1) and secured draws against Atlético Mineiro (1-1) and Cienciano (2-2).

The Venezuelan side relies on young talent. Two of only four players under the age of 20 who have scored in the 2025 CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage play for Caracas: José Rondón and Lucciano Reinoso (one goal each).

Ender Echenique, with three goals in four matches for Caracas in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, is just one goal away from becoming the club's all-time top scorer in this competition, which would put him on par with the legendary Diomar Díaz.

Thursday's encounter in Peru's Cusco thus offers an intriguing clash between a team specializing in draw results and a squad that excels in turning around unfavorable developments. Given that the first meeting in Caracas ended in a 2-2 draw, a tense duel can be expected where the smallest detail could prove decisive.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
